Hi folks, I am primarily setting up this blog for the purpose of showing images of my knitting, spinning, dyeing, photography and metalwork,etc,. Who knows what else I may add later.
I am the type who loves designer names, but only when I can find them at Thrift-Store prices. In other words, those balloons are mighty pretty, but a bit over inflated. I can behave my self when I am in a suit and not feel out of place, but I think I look much better in a pair of Carharts and a 'T' shirt. I way overthink a lot of things, and always try to look at situations from all angles before making my final analysis of a situation or idea. If a diamond didn't have all its facets, it wouldn't have that sparkle that makes one look at it in awe.
Finished the prototype for the Punkin Hat. There will be a second variation with a different application of decreases at the crown coming up shortly. Like the previous hats in this series, this is knit in Machine Washable/Superwash 100% wool, the Orange is Heirloom from Australia and the stem is from CascadeYarns.

SO cute! I love yer work.
Peace
i love the twisty cords, i'm thinking they would make sweeet fringe on a scarf... did you cast on and then bind off to make it twist like that???
Thanks Femmy.
Knitxcore, the twists are done by casting on a number of stitches (this will be the short side) then on the next row, increase two or three stitches into each of the cast on stitches [i.e., increase by k-1 in the front, k-1 in the back and k-1 in the front again of each of the cast on stitches] when you come to the end, bind off the next row.
Good luck on your scarf.
